Definition df-ndx

Description: Define the structure component index extractor. See Theorem ndxarg to understand its purpose. The restriction to NN ensures that ndx is a set. The restriction to some set is necessary since _I is a proper class. In principle, we could have chosen CC or (if we revise all structure component definitions such as df-base ) another set such as the set of finite ordinals _om ( df-om ).
